Sleeping

It’s amazing the hints God has given us in creation regarding the future. Sleep is one. Given that the Hebrew day starts at sundown, some people go to sleep after the day has begun, while it is dark. If Sundown is early, some may be asleep at the beginning of the day. Most rise after the sun has dawned. A few rise before dawn. This matches the resurrection. Most are asleep (dead) at the dark beginning of the Millennium. By the time the sun rises, most are awake again (alive). A few rise early, before sunrise. Notice what Jesus says,

“But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’” Matthew 25:6

Midnight is a quarter of the way through the Hebrew day, or 250 years out of 1,000. This shows the church being resurrected to meet her bridegroom well before dawn. Dawn occurs 500 years into the 1,000.
